[TR] Prusik Peak- South Face 7/10/2006

[Winter]

Climb: Prusik Peak-South Face

 

Date of Climb: 7/10/2006

 

Trip Report:

Jeff Alzner and I clmbed the South Face of Prusik on Sunday. A very fun route. Not much to add from all the other TRs on the site. I think we did it in 5 pitches and took about 5-5.5 hours from camp-to-camp. I think you could run the first pitch to the top tree and the second to right under the chock stone, the third to the top of the squeeze and the 4th to the summit. We had an extra in there somewhere - Jeff traversed out left at the top of the first pitch and then came into the trees from the left - fun variation.

 

Ahh the misery of the hike out Snow Creek - you know you've been there. There's SCW ... still there ... not there yet ... getting close ... almost there ... there's the road ... still there ... etc etc etc.

 

Obligatory Goat Shots

Eye Candy

 

 

And the Route

 

 

Gear Notes:

Took the #4. Probably worth hauling it up there.

 

Approach Notes:

Came up over Asgard - still lots of snow in the lakes. Freaking beuatiful!!! Water everywhere.

I saw that set of goats up there, but they saw the gleam in my eye and were off before I could get my camera out. Purty.

nice job! I've gone out Snow once and will NEVER do it again. It's freakin awful. The worst part is that you can see the damn car for the last 5 miles.

Isn't that first hand crack right off the ground just the sweetest start?!

And that last one, right to the summit is the sweetest finish!

Nice going... I have done the other S. Face route and thought the offwidth/chimney was a grunt. It sounds like there is nothing that wide on this route?
